Additionally, the breakfast room floor was leveled and a radiator installed; bead board was installed in the kitchen, breakfast room and half bath, and windows were repaired. The sun porch addition (2016) is a work of art and was done at the same time the backyard was professionally landscaped and beautiful gardens were created, including a cascading waterfall, stone steps and paths, as well as landscape lighting.
